Question

Divide and write the quotient and remainder.

(3) (10 – 25a + 5a²) ÷ 5a

Answer 1

(5a² – 25a + 10) ÷ 5a can be shown as:

$$\begin{gathered} a-5 \\ 5a\overline{)5a^2-25a+10} \\ \underline{-5a^2} \\ 0-25a \\ -25a \\ \underline{+} \\ \underline{+10} \end{gathered}$$

So, the quotient of the division is a – 5 and the remainder is 10
